In fact, some judges have even told me that they thought that this was our plan. The judges thought that we were trying to take over the judiciary.”

We shall then know 'prestige' in comparison to the 'vertigo' of before. Thus we shall become men of the air, we shall know the upward force of attraction, towards space, towards nowhere and everywhere at once; having thus mastered the earthly force of attraction we shall literally levitate in complete physical and spiritual freedom.”

Yves Klein (1928–1962) French artist
